THE PROVINCE OF YOUTH.

To the young people it naturally falls
to tinge the social life of the church.
If they are earthly rather than heavenly
minded, they will admit into their idea
of society much which is of doubtful
propriety if tested by old fashioned
standards. Under the disguise of inno-
cent recreation, amusements which are
at least questionable will steal like
spies into the camp of the holy. The
purple garments of this worlds royal
ties too often trail their splendors be-
side the white robes of the redeemed,
and too often, in our dread of being
dubbed illiberal, we stretch liberty to
the dizzy verge of license. 1t is pity
that the church member should some
times more readily compromise with
conscience than the nen-professor, and
that church should be secularized on
the cheap plea that the young people
will not stay among collection of fos-
sils. Such shirking Of responsibility to

the most transparent cowardice, and
has been proved an unworthy subter-
fuge wherever the experiment of "the
church for Christi has been fairly tried.
To take the strangers hand in well
coming clasp to look after the boy
who came up from his home on the
farm to live in clearinghouse, with
no place to spend his evenings; to en-
circle with protecting care the young
girl in shop or factory; to shake up the
pillow under the weary head of poverty;
to carry comfort into desolate homes !;
to add a strong, steady impulse to mis-
sion work, in the foreign as well as the
domestic field to be foremost in every
advance, with the rallying cry always,
"Jesus only" should be the province of
the young people.-Margaret e. Sangs-
ter.

in 1916, and which bears the name OF
BLESSED Spring." His followers con-
tend the waters have special virtues,
though Of what nature 1 was unable to
learn. We have viewed
Some Magnificent Scenery
in passing over the mountains, and it
seems to me never before realized how
beautiful God hath made all things.
Never until now have / caught the full
meaning of-"When the mists have
rolled in splendor from the beauty of
the hills" And as 1 throw back the
tent curtains ''in the dawning Of the
morning." can ''sing the mighty power
of God," with an emphasis never before
felt. I do not believe my words could
convey to others the beauties of this
mountain region.
AS we climb the mountain sides, at
every turn of the road, where there is
an opening in the forests that fringe it,
some new scene breaks upon our vision,
while behind it stretches distance
beyond which the eye cannot reach.
Surely 1.-THE armament showeth his
handiwork." l think 1 have looked
upon ''acres" of ferns, growing to a
height 1 had not dreamed of, and so
near the roadside I could have plucked
them as sat in the wagon, while the
beautiful daisies grow in rich profu-
sion everywhere.
In crossing the top Of one ridge of
the AlIeghenies I drew to one side to
look at the charred remains of what had
been large log cabin-miles from any
sign of habitation. A few rods to the
left stood paling fence surrounding a
lone grave. Some loving hand had
pencilled, with pen-knife, an inscrip-
tion on smoothly planed pine board
at the head. A strange fascination
held me to the spot, and fancy wove a
simple romance around the cabin and
grave. And shall say, that, for the
hour, almost envied the silent sleeper
who, after more than four score years
had done forever with the trials and
cares of life, and lay peacefully at rest
so 'snear to natures heart" I plucke6
two sprays of myrtle from the turf sur.
rounding the grave. One sent to
loving friend in Ohio; the other I shal
keep in memory of the lone sleeper OF
the mountain side.
We are now sin camp on the battle
field of Gettysburg, but this epistlt
grows lengthy, and I reserve our expe
riences here for future letter.

tartan ?'' The conservative wing in
the Andover controversy contend that
the doctrine of future probation leads
inevitably to Universalism. In that
they are unquestionably correct. But
shall men reject truth because Its ac-

to a whole body of truth ?
We affirm our belief that the greatest
need of the Christian pulpit to-day is
new infusion of honesty and courage.

Four cubes Of loaf sugar lay on the bar
at the Cabaret. Four pairs of eyes were
watching them closely. Aleftover August

an aimless and perfunctory way.
"I'll bet you 81 the fly fetches up at your

A DEBUTANTE's COSTUME.
Tho "sweet Simplicity" of Dress of
New York Bud.


New York Bud.
New York Letter.l
Next to the bridal dress Of young girl,
her "coming out'' costume is the crucial
test Of task and income. Miss Eva Van
CORTLAND Morris's "sweet simplicity" of
costume was an example. The foundation
was low -necked, no.slesved clip Of what
one would call rose white. II yellow white
be ivory or cream, then pinkish white
is rose white. The material was corded
silk, heavy and lustrous. About
the walking length skirt was box
plated row OF valenciennes four inches
deep at S. q yard. In each plat of tho lace
hung pendent an artificial half-blown blush
rose. Up one side like panel went row
after row Of lace and buds. Draped over
the silk was mass of ethereal silk gauZe,
with satin stripes In pure white. Opposite
the panel, on therlght side, was big pocket
like basket work, and springing out of the
top wassa splendid cluste. of blush roses,
halt blown and buds. The pirlish chest Of the
debutante admitted OF the upper half Of the
corsage being made Of overlapping rows OF
yalenciennes and intermingled buds, and q
hip corset Of satin, laced behind, showing
the slender waist. There were certainly fifty
yards Of lace on the diess and five hundred
roses. The material that formed the over
dress was 500 for five yards, the slip cost
$50, the roses and the making were 800,
and go the simple rosebud dress of miss 10
her teens, without any jewelry or display,
cost $500.

NAPOLEON AND REMUsAr.
Were Her Memoirs Inspired by Dis
appointed Love?
Paris Letter. !

Paris Letter.l
Prince jerome has finally replied, and In
q most telling way, think, to the bitter
attack which Henri Talne made on the First
Napoleon in that long essay printed here in
the Rerue des Deilr Mondes, and In America
in the Princeton RevietU, some months ago.
As for Bourrien, the fellow pupil OF Napo-
leon at Brienne afterwards his private sec-
retary, and still later the most violent of his
detractors, the prince deals with his revela.
tions by pointing out their improbability or
by simply denying their truth, and then he
goes for Nine. do Remusat's memoirs, de.
claring that they are tissue OF cAlumnies
and contradictions written In 1878, but made
up out OF Impressions received during the
time she was intimate with the imperial
family. This the prince demonstrates by
numerous citations from the published
letters which she wrote to her husband, In
which she speaks In very different way of
Napoleon. These show that when they were
written she had certainly an exalted admira-
ton for the emperor, and that the fact that
this admiration was not returned had o
great deal TO do with her treason to him.
"she hoped 10 exercise durable and profit
able influence through that charm Of intelli-
gence that Napoleon had recognized; she
dreamed OF being an ardent friend OF his,
q sort OF Egeria. This dream betrays itself
by ber enthusiasm for the hero and her
regrets ~ the effaced role women played
IN bis life. A word dropped by her dis.
closes the secret OF her soul. 'Per.
hRps,n she writes, 'the emperor would

/ was talking to young man recently
who has wide acquaintance among gam
blers, and who knows all their little pecu.
liarities. He said: "There Is no class OF
men with whom have been thrown in con-
tact who are so full of superstition. They
begin the observation Of luck-signs when
they arise In the morning, and they never
leave of until they have closed their eyes
their beliefs.
''If one Of them puts his stockings on
wrong side out he believes that luck Will
be showered upon him all day, and he will
risk his whole pile on the strength OF good
omen. In putting on his clothing a
gambler will always put his left sock and
his left shoe on first, and when pulling on
bis trousers he will insert his left leg iirst
and will put his left arm In his left sleeve
before his right. II he forgets to observe
this rule he must remove his clothing again,
turn them inside out and then back again,
and then dress according to his rule.

do 80 would turn his luck away from him.
When at the table, should he miss hand
at poker, he will quit, because he believes
that luck is no longer with him. One OF
the strongest superstitions is that II any
body standing during the game should
place foot on players chair 1t acts as a
hoodoo.
"Many of these who make living by
their ability to win at cards are credited
with carrying fetisbes or charms, such as
an ear Of dead man, the left forefoot OF a
graveyard rabbit, caught IN the dark OF the
moon, or a buckeye or borsechestnut.
Another belief among that class is that II
player once declares his intentions TO leave
the game he had better do so, as he will

Sign among them is that food of luck will
